STEUBENvILLE, October 1.-The Street
Fair will take place on Wednesday and
Thursday, October 10Th and 18th and is
therefore only little over a week of, not
much time to go and come on, and every
one should he making their preparations
for the event. Those who entered to
place articles on exhibition should have
them in readiness by the time they are
needed. Nearly every family in the city
will be called on during the two days to
entertain one or more people. The hotels
and boarding houses will not be able to
accommodate the thropg and the surplus
will naturally fall back on their city
friends. The committees having various
matters in charge are doing all they can
to get very preliminary in proper
order, and there is now no doubt
about the Fair being success
so far as the exhibition is concerned. The
Royal Gas Company will erect a pipe forty
feet high from the centre of Fourth and
Market street squares, for the purpose Of
lighting the Arcade with natural gas. The
cattle department, on the base ball
grounds, will also be lighted with natural
gas.
On Saturday evening, October 9Th,
the Steubenville Opera company, that has
been in training several weeks, Will pre-
sent the "Mikado," at the Opera House,
the proceeds to be devoted to the Fair.
The play will also be presented on the
evenings of the Fair. The company
is composed of the best talent
Steubenyille affords, and already has a
record, as they some months ago presented
the Chimes of Normandy" and earned
many encomiums for the excellence of its
rendition.
Swartz, Floto & CO., during the past
week paved North Fourth street, between
Market and Washington, with fire clay
brick. Added to this the fact that the
square boasts the handsomest business
blocks in the city, makes it the finest
square in Steubenville.
Murphy & Murray on Wednesday even
ing presented their funny comedy, "Our
Irish Visitors" to one OF the largest
audiences that has assembled in the Opera
House for some time. The play was eX-
crutiatingly funny, and was highly enjoyed
